When the oil runs out

CHORUS - Denial, anger

When the oil runs out

We'll all be in denial

When the oil runs out

There will have to be a trial
When the oil runs out
We'll they'll just have to drill more
When the oil runs out
Did they look everywhere offshore?
When the oil runs out
They'll fighting in the streets
When the oil runs out

They'll be tearing up the seats

When the oil runs out

We'll be under attack

When the oil runs out

That will be that

VERSE

Dm                          G

No more umbrellas, no more wellies

No more toothpaste or petroleum jelly

Goodbye plastic, goodbye gas

Goodbye the good times you went by so fast

There must be another barrel down there somewhere

                                                                         C
Why don't they drill another hole and make a bigger well

CHORUS -  bargaining, depression

When the oil runs out

People will want proof
When the oil runs out

The price with go through the roof
When the oil runs out

Then they will fight over the last barrel
When the oil runs out
Our live's will be in peril

When the oil runs out

We'll have to cut back

When the oil runs out

That will be that

VERSE

No more batteries, no more grease

No more footballs or toilet seats

Goodbye CDs, goodbye speakers

Goodbye nice clothes and brand new sneakers

There must be other materials we'll have to look around

Maybe have to redesign the whole damn town

CHORUS - acceptance

When the oil runs out

We'll just have to go back to wood
When the oil runs out
It might turn out to be good

When the oil runs out

There won't be so much greed

When the oil runs out
And things we knew we didn't need

OUTRO
Dm                             G
What would life be like without oil?
Will the world stop without oil?
How will we fight wars without oil?
And what will we fight for without oil?
